Hello again, everyone!

The installation went well for me. It's working correctly via Wine. I installed the latest version of Wine as instructed by the official website, via the Command Terminal, and not via the Ubuntu "Application Centre".

But I'm having a small problem: I can't add my EAs to the Expert folder within the "Data Folder" opened via the platform. I've searched "Files" but I can't find the Wine folder where the MT5 data is located.

Can anyone tell me how to add my EAs and indicators inside MT5?

RESOLVED!

I've done it!

Just go to Files, press ctrl+H to show hidden files. Then just go to the .wine/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5 - ActivTrades/MQL5/Experts/Advisors folder and add the experts.

Only then was I able to install the EAs. Unfortunately, it's not possible to do this on the MT5 platform via Open Data Folders.

 
I also see that the tests through the"Strategy Tester" only go up to H12.

I discovered that this wasn't a problem. Now it has appeared. I just scrolled the middle mouse button clicking on the TimeFrame selection and they all appeared.
 
Hello, I have Mint 17.3, with Wine 1.6, and I've been unable to install either MT 4 or 5. A message appears asking for the server, username and password. Without this information I can't finish installing them. Does anyone know what I need to do? Thank you.

Hello Rafael. I'm also having the same problem!

Today I formatted and installed Ubuntu 15.10, installed Wine from the Ubuntu Programme Centre and I got this message. Is it due to the 64-bit architecture?

 
Well... I tried to install MT4, which is for 32-bit architecture, but I still get the following message asking for the server.

SOLVED!

I managed to install the platforms. Just uninstall your version of Wine and install the latest version from the official website: https: //www.winehq.org/download

It asked me to install some additional packages, but it worked.

Hello, I had the same problem on Debian, I added the i386 architecture and after uninstalling the wine that comes in "sudo apt-get install ...", I went to the official website and installed the latest "staging" version(https://www.winehq.org/download). And now it works perfectly

I hope this helps you!
